The solution: the adaptable, multifunctional Isolator platform

Isolator technology A large choice of possibilities

Simple to scale up the filling capacity

or

parallel filling of different

substances in one

cleanroom

Isolator technology Scale up and production flexibility

• Easy to use • 100% automatic • Decontamination SAL 10-6

• Working chamber < 210 min

Decontamination with integrated H2O2 system

Optional safe change filter system for handling of high active ingredients

Safe Change Filter System 1 - 4

• Rapid transfer • Integrated H2O2

decontamination system • Grade A, ISO 5 with

unidirectional air flow • Automatic leak test • Independent control system,

air handling and deco-system • Transfer time >15 minutes

Isolator technology Material transfer with H2O2 decontamination

First setup and material: • front-door / main chamber

Continuous transfer: • RTP ports • SART system (liquid) • Rapid H2O2 airlock(s) • Sterile endless tubing systems • mousehole(s)

Isolator technology Backside with interchangeable L-Flange

Isolator technology L-Flange with inflatable sealing (red)

• Ready to use means: washed, sterilized and packed under aseptic conditions

• Stoppers, caps in bags • Washed, depyrogenated

glass bottles in foil • Sterile syringes in TUBs

• All packaging material needs to

be H2O2 resistant

Small Scale – Closed Vial Versatile Robot Line


One single robotic machine to fill several ready-to-use containers:

- Closed Vials (filling, laser re-sealing, snap-fit capping)

- RTF glass vials (filling, stoppering, alu capping)

- RTF syringes (filling, plungering)

All containers are supplied and processed in nests Easy change of the robot heads

Small Scale – Closed Vial Filling, Laser Re-Sealing, Capping


Small to Medium Scale Up to 4000 nested syringes / hour

Medium Scale Nested Syringe filling (4000 / h)

Fast Track Projects Conventional Line <> Small Scale Line

air handling units

switchboards pneumatics

H2O2 system

building structure

piping, cableway

3m cleanroom ceiling

Isolator filling machine

• large technical area and cleanroom needed

• many interfaces to building structure, HVAC, media,

• more equipment's like WFI, steam

• long project time line – FAT after 14-20 months – Ready for media fill 23- 33 months

• extensive custom made design

and qualification • high investment cost

Fast Track Project Conventional Line <> Small Scale Line

• everything inside the smaller cleanroom

• only power and compressed air needed

• air from the room, back to the room with catalytic converter

• short delivery time, quick setup – FAT after 9 months – Ready for media fill 12 months

• design docs and qualification

follows standards • low investment cost

Conventional line • glass vial 0,06 € • WFI up to 0.32 € / vial • tunnel el. power 0.01 € / vial

• cleanroom, building • technical area needed

• > 6,0 Mio € equipment's • engineering company's

• Requalification of add. equipment

Small Scale Line • RTU vial ~0.35 – 1.50 € • H2O2 <0.001 € / vial

• cleanroom, building -30% m2

• NO technical area

• 2,5 Mio € equipment's • low engineering effort

Cost comparison (3000 2R vial per hour, 1.5m2 lyo, isolator)

With the modular isolator and the described filling equipment, a flexible solution for small scale filling under aseptic, toxic conditions can be realized. The isolator also protects the operator and the environment from hazardous material, which is processed inside. The filling equipment allows with adequate handling by the operator an automated output of 300 up to 70’000 objects per day/batch, depending on the automation grade of the system. For small batches and clinical trials, modular filling isolators are the best alternative to a traditional clean room concept.
